Got the Time?

Last week was a busy week for us, and it is still going strong. I was hoping of cracking a box of MetaZoo Nightfall, but didn’t get a chance to. It keeps looking at me when I’m sitting at my desk. “Don’t you want to open me, Big Boy?” “Don’t you want to tear into the shrink wrap, and slowly remove it from on top of me?” And I look at the box, and say … “Maybe, tomorrow night.”

Everything was put on the back burner last week. But, we’ll be back on schedule in no time. Cause we don’t have much going on till Fusion Strike comes out. Only 3 weeks away, and I’m hoping for a new Mimikyu card.

Speaking of Pokemon, I haven’t had a chance to play for a long time. I heard that they changed the Online game. Haven’t checked it out yet. I doubt they changed anything, but I’ll only find out if I re-download it and see for myself. Unless one of you guys would like to tell me.

War of the Visions, no spoiler alert this week, because I haven’t played at all this week. I might give it a rest, because I don’t think I want to have to level up Mont just to beat a scene. War of the Visions.

You might have defeated me.

Maybe I should try Brave Exvius once again. It’s been out for a while. I wonder how far I can get into the story before The First Soldier comes out. Not to mention my backlog of PS4 games. Maybe, I just need a Twitch account. Then I can play games because it’s part of my business plan. Mostly Final Fantasy, but any kind of game will work well. I just need to figure out the setup, Mics, cameras cables and whatnot. I bet it’s pretty easy to figure it out. Just ask Google.

Hey, if we get a Twitch account setup, we can probably start live box breaks. Just a thought.

Now, With More Sugar

It looks like Captain Kirk finally flew into space.

Cracker Jack Pepsi.

Wendy’s Frosty Cereal.

Some interesting news coming out. Nothing important, just a couple of things that caught my eye. And, this whole time, I was reading New Shepherd as New Shatner. I kept thinking why would they name the rocket after William Shatner? Must be trying to capitalize on his name.

Now, we have some releases coming out this week. FFTCG Starter Set, and Meta Zoo. We will have both. I looked into MetaZoo, and I liked that they are using Urban Legends and “Real” Monsters. It gives it a certain charm. Imagine playing with the Killer Clown, that’s seen on the side of the road, when you’re driving through the forest at 3AM. Everybody knows about it. Sure it might just be some idiot trying to scare everybody driving by, but he made his mark on history. Especially since It came out, back in the 90’s. (Tim Curry was a better Pennywise). Now you have videos on Youtube, and Facebook, and Tiktok and what not. With people filming these clowns standing on the side of the road holding balloons. And so, this Killer Clown can take on the Sewer Alligator. You know the one that got flushed down the toilet at the zoo on accident. And now, it crawls through the sewers looking for whatever food it can find.

Shinra Vs Avalanche, I keep saying that backwards. It’s Avalanche VS Shinra. We’ll have 10 new cards available to us. Almost like a sneak peak at Crystal Dominion. More FFVII cards incoming. You can’t blame them. That was the game that launched Final Fantasy into the number 1 spot back in 1997. Now, nostalgia has set in and I know I will be fixing up a Turks deck. If they can only give us a great Reno and Rude cards.

War of the Visions.

-Spoiler Alert-

So, it looks like I spoke too soon. Everyone has not died. Just some of them.

King Robb is still dead. Mont killed him. Not Muraga.

In front of Macherie too, and Englebert.

Now, I’m stuck trying to beat Sterne. Serves me right for not playing with Mont at all this whole time. I thought it would just have been an easy story battle, but nope. I sent out a Level 1 Mont against Sterne the first time. The Battle lasted one Mighty Break. I realized at that moment that no companion can save me.

I had to take Mont and level him up. He is currently at level 79 and is still getting his butt kicked by his younger brother. Hopefully by next week, I’ll have enough Mont shards to Limit Break him a couple more times and get him to level 99. He should be able to take down Sterne by then.

-End Spoilers-

There is also FFVII : The First Soldier coming out. From what I’ve seen there is no Story mode in it. I’ll probably give it a try, but I’m not a big fan of shooters. Unless they have a great story. Something along the lines of Bioshock. Even Dirge of Cerberus had a good story, but that just might be because I’m a big fan of Final Fantasy.

Crystal Dominion Prerelease Kit Preview.

We finally got a look at the Pre-release Kit, and the Theatrhythm Promo card, featuring none other than Butz .. I mean Bartz. Sleeves featuring Firion and 9 packs of Crystal Dominion goodness. And it shall be here next month. 6 weeks away if nothing goes wrong. Let’s see if Joe actually does something. Along with UPS, Fedex and Walmart. But, that’s  another story.

Now, we do have a card here, Let’s take a look.

Bartz EX
4CP/Wind
Forward
Category – Theatrhythm-V
Job – Wanderer/ Warrior of Light
Hero
8000 Power

“EX BURST When a Job Warrior of Light other than Bartz enters your field, gain (C).

If you have a (C), Bartz gains +2000 power.

When a Job Warrior of Light you control is put from the field into the Break Zone, you may pay (C)(C)(C). When you do so, play it onto the field. This effect will trigger only once per turn.”

Do you know what that means. You need a card Job : Warrior of Light that will also serve as your main card. Wait, What? Let me rephrase this.

Faris (12-128L) that is the card you will be playing. Or atleast I would. Think about it. Faris attacks for 8k not counting buffs. Even if she doesn’t break the blocking Forward. She will be sent to the Break Zone. You’ll bring her back for 3(C). And when she re-enters the field, you will gain (C). Which, even if you used your last Crystals, Bartz will still have his +2K power and Faris will deal 2k damage to a Forward for each Job Warrior of Light you control.

And come to realize it. Faris and Bartz are both Category : V as well.

Let’s see Warrior of Light Theme Deck become a thing. Now if we can only get Jack aboard. Maybe by Resurgence of Power.

More Ramblings? Let’s Just Call It News

It’s been an eventful week. Lots of news and spoilers for FFTCG. And, we like that. It means we’ll soon be cracking some new packs. Hopefully with better luck this time.

Avalanche Vs Shinra Starter Set will be coming out next Friday. They should be here on time, but you can never be certain. Not at the moment. There are shipping delays everywhere and there is no end in sight for them. But, we’re feeling optimistic.

We should have a couple more Opus XIV videos coming up, we still have a booster box and a couple of Prerelease kits to crack open. Still looking for that elusive Cloud Full Art. It’s got to turn up somewhere.

Cause sometimes when you look close enough, you’ll find things you missed at the warehouse. Like Opus XI Prerelease kits, or Tifa Tins just laying in the corner, because you misplaced them and thought they were sold already. Doesn’t matter the reason, we have them. And if we look a little deeper we might just find some more Opus XIII boxes. Maybe Lightning isn’t that far off.

War of the Visions

-Spoiler Alert-

Muraga is one hungry fellow, and because of that everybody dies. I think 10 characters we’re devoured or slain by Muraga in the last chapter. I lost count. Except for King Robb. That was Mont.

Damn those snakes. Every single last one of them. They are the bane of my party’s existence. I can’t seem to get passst … well I just did as I was writing this. Luckily, for me I can hire a companion. Starlight Elena, just cut those snakes down just like King Robb did. Only, she didn’t get bit by them.

And, Englebert is still alive. This is getting interesting.

-End Spoilers-

Don’t forget.

Robel-Akbel

We’re starting off with a Bang! Spoiler Season is here like we’ve mentioned earlier this week and we just keep on going. Final Fantasy XI, we got Robel-Akbel. And with that …

On to the card

4CP – Earth
Forward
Category : XI
Job : Black Mage/Warlock Warlord
8000 Power
Legend

“When Robel- Akbel enters the field, you may pay (C).

When you do so, choose 1 Forward or Monster, Break it.

At the beginning of Main Phase 1 during each of your turns, choose 1 backup in your Break Zone. Add it to your hand”
We’ll just jump straight into that second ability. At the beginning of Main Phase 1, grab a Backup from your Break Zone. At the beginning of your opponents Main Phase 1, grab a Backup from your Break Zone.”

As Long as Robel-Akbel is on the field. You will be getting an extra 2CP you can use during each of your turns. That way you can have your reserve list of Backups in your Break Zone and grab them whenever you’ll need them.

You’ll probably be looking for a 2 cost Backup that has either an entry ability or an ability that hits when it is put into the Break Zone. That way you can keep recycling it over and over.

A card like Kazusa (3-026C). Your opponent will be discarding cards left and right while you’re just recycling Kazusa and another Backup.

As for the Crystal ability, upon entry, Robel-Akbel can Break 1 Forward or Monster. There are plenty of ways to gain Crystals, we’ve seen a couple already. And now we also have a Crystal Card available.

What other Backup would you pair Robel-Akbel with? Let us know in the comments.
